Vista Drivers

Greensprout

Anyone know where I can get Vista Drivers for a Samsung NP10-N130?

I can only find XP/2000 drivers..
I've googled and searched the Samsung website but I'm struggling.

Did it come with vista pre-installed?

No, I 'upgraded' it for XP.

Do you think it might not be supported?

Looks like only xp/w7 is, if you haven't wiped the factory restore you could try that to take it back to xp, or do a windows update and google the device instance id of each of the missing drivers (see device manager) to find the generic drivers for vista if they are available elsewhere

It would probably run better with XP anyway

I'm struggling to even find the spec/model numbers to get the generic drivers..

Looks like I'll have to downgrade. Tut! That was a waste of about 2 hours putting Vista on. Lesson learnt check drivers before installing!

Thanks for your time closed.

(I did initially try the restore but it wouldn't work)

If you run devmgmt.msc then look for the instance id, that defines what the hardware device is

Have you tried here? Might be worth trying the Windows 7 Drivers.

I've tried. The device is the Wireless card i'm struggling with and Device manager lists it as 'Network Controller', couldn't be less generic.

There is no 'Device Instance Id' option to select from the drop down.

Which other would it be?
Hardware Id's?
